This does sound like lice. The quickest way to get rid of lice is to purchase a shampoo specifically made to kill them, then a special fine tooth comb is used to remove any that are still in the hair. Sometimes 2 applications of the shampoo will be required to make sure all the lice are dead. (Head checks of everyone in the household need to be done, as well, & all bed linens will need to be washed in hot water.)

Dust mites are some of the smallest white bugs that look like lint. Dust mites, their body parts, and their feces are the most common household allergens.
Wash all sheets, blankets, pillowcases and bed covers in hot water that is at least 130 F (54.4 C) to kill dust mites and remove allergens. If bedding can't be washed hot, put the items in the dryer for at least 15 minutes at a temperature above 130 F (54.4 C) to kill the mites.

These can be lice eggs. You need a shampoo and comb to kill and remove the eggs

Bugs/eggs are not very clear, but it appears to be some type of body lice.
"Body lice bites can cause intense itching, and you may notice small areas of blood and crust on your skin at the site of the bite marks."

Read the information on health sites and if you have those symptoms then you should take appropriate action quickly.
If you do not have these symptoms, then your 'bugs' have not been identified.
Respond to answers and let us know if these are not the type of symptoms you have so we can do more research.
